I am not much of a fan of their music but it seems such a waste to have died so young...Rest in peace.:(

    RIP, maybe natural causes. Too many people under 40 dying of "natural causes".:(

    I agree Carl. It isn't natural to die before your're...
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    They always seemed kind of like a GWAR knockoff to me. But anyway, RIP.

    Well, they usually had amazing bass peddles that made any sub slap hard and fast. That what I liked, plus thier riffs were pretty good too.

    RIP!!!

    As for slipknot I can do without them, the sad thing is the vocalist has a great voice when he really sings, and don't sound like a Growling dog..

    My son is a total fan of theirs. In fact I have twice given him vinyl copies of their albums. By the way, they sound great on LP. Anyway, he's a little sad today and wearing a Slipknot t shirt. Two years ago he dressed up for halloween as Joey Jordison the drummer, mask and all. Made it himself. I found it totally creepy but he liked it. As they say pics or it didn't happen, so I've attached one of my son John. RIP Paul.

    People under 40 rarely actually die from natural causes. That's just what they say on the news before the toxicology proves they did a boatload of heroin or prescription drugs.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Slipknot was a creepy band to say the least, but sad day for music.
